Entries in Star Wars (7)

Way Gone Wednesdays: Jar Jar Binks

I grew up with the original Star Wars trilogy. The greatest stories of my childhood. I was obsessed. We all were. Then came the prequels. An embarrassing trio of modernized, underhanded garbage. The biggest insult of all was Jar Jar Binks. A deleted scene has surfaced though in which Jar Jar dies. This should give us all a little comfort. Peep.

Madhouse Mondays: Halloween

We're just days from Halloween. I have nothing special for you this morning other than this pic of a dog dressed as an AT-AT. Enjoy.

 

Real Talk Tuesdays: Ghostbusters

I remember seeing Ghostbusters in the theatre with my siblings and cousins. It was the hit of the year - everyone loved. No one, however, pointed out that it was a full 7 years after Star Wars and the rest of Hollywood hadn't figured out how to make legit special effects. You needed Lucasarts to do that. Dig.

*Fun Fact: Both Debbie Gibson and Ron Jeremy appeared in this film uncredited.

Feel Good Fridays: Family

Honestly had one of the best Thanksgivings in recent memory yesterday. Hope you did as well.

 

Way Gone Wednesdays: Star Wars - The High School Years

Ever wonder what Star Wars would've been like as an 80's high school movie? Me neither but artist Denis Medri has and it looks like a damn good time. Click here to see them all.
